Gold Gym Power Spin 230R

The bike is good but whoever designed the battery compartment and the battery retainer should be taked out and severly beaten. The battery retainer is very dificult to close and the tabs broke off. I am now forced to buy an electric converter for about $80.

Thanks alot Golds Gym. You took a good product and cheaped out on the battery compartment.

I bought mine off e-bay, with shipping and tax it came to 12.99. It works like a champ. Here is the link

The battery compartment is the WORST ever designed. You almost have to stand on your head to change the batteries. I would not buy it again had I had any idea.

He can get an adapter at Radio Shack--SKU 273-1766 6V 800mAC Adapter with an SKU-273-1716 Adaptaplug "M" for $23.99 plus tax. We did and it works great--however would give no personal guarantees, but works better than 4 new Duracells

It is covered under warranty for 90 days !!

You can buy a battery cover @fitnessrepairparts.com for 10 bucks.

I just bought one of these and have the exact same problem. What idiot designed the upside down battery holder? Mine broke the first time. I will not be buying an adapter. Instead, I will be returning the whole thing to Wal-mart and then I will look for a new bike with an AC power cord included.
